On my way to see Farmer JoHn Peterson at Angelic Organics, Farm #3, just up the road 3 hours from Farm#2.

Overnight stop in a State preserve. Took a long walk alone the Rock River and reflected on this journey. Exactly how I envisioned I would spend this part of my career...helping family farms in all parts of the country!

Time to visit Farm #3 after a good nights rest in a quite park. Can’t say I missed the train from the last farm stay, but did miss the sound of the tractors starting up in the morning heading out to harvest the potato fields.

Driving in to Angelic Organics to assist them to fine tuning the farms food safety plan. Angelic Organics is a Community Supported Agriculture farm, growing vegetables and herbs. Check out their website at www.angelicOrganics.com. You will find a fantastic documentary film about the trials and tribulations of Farmer Johns plight to save his family farm. This is exactly why I do what I do. Fight on John Peterson!

After a full tour of the farm we sat down and worked on food safety documents that they will need to implement good agriculture practices. This Farm is using HeavyConnect for their electronic food safety documentation. They will be prepared to meet the food safety modernization act produce rule requirements after a few improvements to their field packing procedures and training of their workers  and volunteers.

Upon leaving the farm, I was graciously handed some of the beautiful products grown at Angelic Organics and yes it was dinner! Never in my life have I tasted such sweet corn! Keep up the good work Angelica organics, we want to see your farm successful for many years to come!
